Rope Made with Dyneema® Secures Fishermen's Livelihoods
7/26/2012
Ropes made with Dyneema® ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMwPE) fiber manufactured by DSM recently demonstrated during initial trials, how their outstanding performance can help fishermen around the world to work more safely, efficiently and cost-effectively.
A leading cordage manufacturing company in India, Garware-Wall Ropes Ltd., is a household name in the fishing community through its close bond with Indian fishermen. The company recently introduced Plateena Rope, produced with Dyneema®, the world's strongest fiber™, made by DSM.
During extensive trials, the benefits of Dyneema® became clear when in 2011, the fishing vessel "Srinivasa" was trialing the new Plateena rope warp lines in heavy currents. During a change of direction the net became stuck under a rocky surface on the seabed. The Plateena rope warp lines had only been on trial for 3 months and the crew were worried if the lines could withstand such an extreme situation.
After releasing additional rope to slacken the load on the boat, the vessel was drifting with the strong sea currents and the skipper was finding it difficult to maintain its position. Most of the rope had already been released; only a few more meters were left on the winch. Something had to be done, and quickly. The skipper decided to use the power of the engine to release the net. It was a significant decision. If the rope were to snap, their net worth thousands of rupees would be lost forever. This would mean no catch for the next few weeks, and with no work and pay there would be no food for their families. On the other hand, remaining ensnared on the seabed could result in the boat either sinking or capsizing.
Following two initial attempts, the skipper gave full throttle and suddenly there was a jolt. To his surprise, the cause of the jolt had been the center pole, used to hold the pulleys, which had come out of its joint that was bolted on both the sides with 2.5 inch nuts within a metal frame. The rope had remained intact, and 8 hours later another boat arrived to help safely disentangle the net from the seabed - all carried out without any damage to the rope.
Mr. Bablu, owner of the "Srinivasa" said: "If we had been using steel wire, I am sure the rope would have failed within 2 hours and we would have lost the nets forever. Unbelievably the Plateena rope fought against the hazardous conditions for 8 hours and still remained intact. I am thankful to this wonderful rope which saved the crew, the boat and our expensive fishing gear."
The crew of the "Srinivasa" are happy to welcome Plateena rope onboard as it requires no lubrication with grease or oil, leaving the deck clean and the crew members free from the laborious duty of greasing the rope after each voyage.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
